Its Educational, folks.
Choose a word and provide a usage.
lackadaisical
\Lack`a*dai"si*cal\, a. [From Lackadaisy, interj.] Affectedly pensive; languidly sentimental. -- Lack`a*dai\"si*cal*ly, adv. (Websters)
adj 1: lacking spirit or liveliness; 2: idle or indolent especially in a dreamy way (WordNet)
For example, "Mel is a good worker but can be lackadaisical in the presence of attractive men."
I've heard this one recently.
Kind regards,

I always thought it was lacksydaisical.
But I am lackadaisical about checking these things out.
My favourite word today is scat.
 I don't mean to sound bitter, cold, or cruel, but I am, so that's how it comes out.

Alteration of alack the day.
alack.
Used to express sorrow, regret, or alarm: “’Las and fearful alack—nobody can make such high claims for the people then living in Maine” (John Gould).
